Benthic ostracod assemblages as bioindicators of anthropogenic impacts in intertidal environment
Abstract :Sediment samples intertidal current of 4 locations in the estuary of
Bahia Blanca were studied; with different degree of disturbance due to
anthropic action. A total of 4 genera were obtained with 5 autochthonous
species; on the basis of the results obtained it can be concluded that Neocytherideis ruidis and Leptocythere darwini are two species
very sensitive to the contamination by human activity since it was only found
in the samples taken from the intertidal Canal Tres Brazas that is
characterized as the area with the least degree of modification. In the sites
with greater degree of disturbance Cyprideis
salebrosa hartmanni was the one that more development
